SF-71H (2018) "The flawless beast killed by updates" Low drag, powerful engine, good race pace, and excellent downforce for 2/3 of the season. Ferrari's Singapore updates made it SLOWER, and they had to revert specs a few races later, losing the championship.…
F1-75 (2022)
"Race-monster, killed by reliability/TDs"
Best downforce on the grid (but high drag) and engine power, excellent race pace, versatile.
Suffered from reliability (the team was forced to turn down the power) and the TD039 damaged its setup window.
4 Wins, 25.2Pts/GP

SF-23 (2023)
"Low drag, but a step back elsewhere"
The car had lower drag than its predecessor, but it lost its advantage in the other areas - mainly in race pace and tyre wear.
The developments were successful, however, and it was competitive at season-end.

"Good balance found again"
The car continued the good development path started on the 2023 car, and further improved it in any aspects: good race pace, drag, downforce, and tyre wear.
The most successful ground-effect Ferrari: bodes well for 2025!

3 years in, Mercedes still has no positive performance trend in ground-effect era Most Points/Race: W13 "The Tractor"! Best WCC Position: W14 (2nd) Most Wins: W15 (4) One step forward, another step back each year Read this thread to understand the characteristics…

"A Step Back, but Still the Queen"
The reduction in floor area hurt Mercedes more than RedBull, but the starting point was so good (W11, the fastest F1 car ever produced) that it still won the WCC.
Powerful, high downforce, versatile.

"The Tractor: Draggy, Reliable, Resistant"
Massive step back for Mercedes, but still the ground-effect car which got them the most points!
Porpoising➡️Raised ride height➡️Downforce loss➡️More loaded wings➡️High drag.
Yet reliable and indestructible!

"The Test-Bed"
Massive change in-season: starting from Monaco, the team abandoned the 'zero-pod' concept in favour of a more traditional design.
This didn't solve all their problems, however (drag was still high), and Alonso stole them many points.

"A New Start"
The project was 'ambitious' (James Allison), changing the concepts for aerodynamics, chassis design, and weight distribution.
Suspension design was different, too (Pull-rod➡️Push-rod).
Terrible season start, but pace improved mid-season.

McL reached the bottom in 2017, scoring just 30 points, retiring 13 times, and finishing 9th in the WCC Since the ground-effect era (MCL36, 2022) they've doubled (!) their WCC points each year, winning the 2024 championship! The comeback history that you…

"Yet another failure"
In the 3rd year of the MCL-Honda cooperation, performance was no better than in the 1st.🚨
Honda's dyno couldn't simulate racing conditions: The engine 'Self-destructed' under its own vibrations➡️Had to run detuned.
1.5 Pts/GP, 9th in WCC

MCL36 ('22)
"The world's fastest brick"
McL went into the ground-effect era with 4years of experience with the Renault PU.
Their first car was decent (5th in WCC), but was held back by very high drag.
A solid base for a championship-winning car, however.

"Cinderella"
McL's launch version had terrible aero (due to floor reg change): little downforce, tons of drag.
They reacted promptly: the 'B-version' had much better downforce and overall performance.
And that was just the beginning...

"The Beast"
An evolution of MCL60: very high downforce (best car in medium-speed corners) but still high drag.
Miami's upgrade solved its low-speed issues; at season-end, its drag and tyre wear issues were solved.
Is this just the beginning?
27.8 Pts/GP, 1st in WCC!
